Toddler Talk

Diego’s grandpa in El Salvador LOVES to hear stories about him and loves to read quotes from Diego, so this is dedicated to him!
I haven't added any extra words to his quotes in spanish - these are exactly his words:


Yesterday was a cloudy day after several days of clear, blue skies. This is what Diego said when we got in the car:
Diego: "No nubes blancas, no nubes blancas. Nubes azules adonde estan?" ("No white clouds, no white clouds. Blue clouds, where are you?"

Me: "Estan atras de las nubes blancas." ("They're behind the white clouds")

Diego: "No veo" ("I don't see")
-------------------------------------------

Diego: "Papa se va a la oficina. Diego se queda con mami y Isa" ("Papa is going to the office. Diego is staying with Mami and Alexia)
-----------------------------------------------------
Diego: "Pescado contento como Diego" ("Fish happy like Diego")
------------------------------------------------------

Diego: "Que grande que es Diego" ("How big Diego is")
-----------------------------------------------------------

Me: "Tienes mucho pee-pee en el panal?" ("Do you have a lot of pee-pee in your diaper?)

Diego: "No mucho pee-pee en panal, solo un poquito" ("Not a lot, just a little bit")

------------------------------------------------------
Diego loves to our UPS man, Zack. Whenever we see a UPS truck he says it's Zack's truck. Today we saw a UPS truck in a different neighborhood.
Diego: "Camion de Zack!.........(pause)............adonde esta Zack?............era otro hombre"

("Zack's truck!........where's Zack?............it was another man"
--------------------------------------------


Diego was carrying a box of heavy things.
Diego: "Como pesa....que fuerte que es Diego!" ("It's heavy....Diego is so strong")
------------------------------------------------
And a follow-up to that first one. Today we got back in the car and he said, “All done nubes blancas……nubes azules!!” (“all done white clouds……blue clouds!”

What a cute little verbal guy Diego is and the fact that you have been so good at exposing him to Spanish from day one will be so valuable to him!

It was great reading these posts and looking at the new pictures. Alexia is lovely and groing so fast. And Diego, well Diego is simply great. Can't wait to see them soon.
